MSR Intake for M5 Nightvision

Grumpywings · 08-27-2015, 05:21 PM

George (M6Beast) really hit a home run with this new application. The fit is perfect and results are very impressive. I ordered a M6 and M5 NV intake and was a little baffled by the M6 came in fully brushed as requested, but the M5 NV was brushed up top and black wrinkle powder coated inside the grille. George pointed out the very distinct black eye the car would have had with a fully exposed brushed right intake and a half-hidden by the NV left intake. He nailed the look and performance.

The only tip I would add to future installers is to hand form the worm clamp connecting the oval tube into an oval shape in order to preload the silicone elbow into the oval shape during insertion. That and the Black Magic make it a pretty painless job.

Thanks George!

Love this! Needed a NV application. Where can I source this?

Grumpywings · 08-27-2015, 05:50 PM

M6Beast is your man.

MCarsFan · 08-27-2015, 10:10 PM

How hard is the install? And what's this gonna run?

Grumpywings · 08-27-2015, 10:56 PM

I'll let M6Beast comment on his prices, but the average dude who has never removed his kidney grilles before might spend 3-4 hours putting this in the first time. It's tricky because it's a tight fit, but manageable if you have a good toolbox.

I'll put one in in Dallas in an hour for a large pizza and a six pack of shiner

What would it take for you to install a few in Dallas? Lol

I LOVE my MSR intake. The sound and performance is amazing! The M5 should sound like this from the factory.

I just installed downpipes and the new MSR ECU tune!!!!!!! OMG.......AMAZING!

Details to follow on the MSR Tune........... :-)

Grumpywings · 08-28-2015, 08:05 AM

You'll end up driving around with our windows open just to hear that sound!

I'm happy to help out in the Dallas area, but I'm down in Midlothian, so just a little haul from the north burbs. PM me if want.

I am sure we wouldn't mind making a trip to Midloathian, that's about 40 min. Will be a fun drive there

haha . We have three M5s in Dallas looking at this

.

Taking the kidney grills take 5 minutes and the OEM intake should take no more than 20 min. I pull them off all the time.

I am still undecided, spending some money in two weeks on DPs and a tune but I will make the trip with you guys to Midlothian and have some fun if you are all down.

MSR Tune?? George has a tune? Who is flashing them?

I have the GSR Technik flash and it is impressive.

If you can pull kidney grilles in 5 minutes, you might install the entire intake in the time it takes to drive down here

It takes me a little while....

Northern X5M · 08-28-2015, 12:53 PM

I think the grills have a finite life as to how many times you can pull them off.
When I installed my MSRs, this was the 4th time I pulled the grills and 2 tabs broke off.
That or I am just way too strong.

I would just come down for the fun. I don't think I am gonna invest in the MSR just yet until next year.

Really though, kidney's take me literally 5 minutes. They pull straight out if you do it right.

I've got 2x sets of Mesiterschaft DP's and 2x Meisterschaft XLR pipes coming in the middle of September for an M5 and M6 install. Come make yourself useful

Hmmm...Eurocharged is right around the corner from my office. Might be a good time for a baseline dyno.

Weak ass. Dive minutes to pull the grill. It takes 5 seconds. When you come here to Houston for your tune I'm gonna have to buy you a red bull!
